Update:
The Standard Definition version of episode 2 has now been uploaded. Still nothing in HD though. But I think this is pointing to a technical problem at Apple. Way to screw up on the premiere day of one the best shows on TV, Apple!
Last night the final season of LOST started. Apple offers season passes for this season in it’s iTunes store. Previously with these passes you could download episodes as soon as they aired.
It’s has now been 15 hours since the first two episodes of LOST Season 6 aired and they are still not on iTunes. Allegedly the episodes of the new series “Caprica” are delayed 5 days on iTunes! Could it be that ABC made Apple delay LOST before putting it on iTunes?
Also, Apple should be forward in this case and clearly tell when episodes are available, before I actually shell out $50 for the seasons pass.
Of course there is no communication from Apple’s side and I can just hope that a shitstorm breaks loose on blogs and Twitter which warns people of buying TV shows from Apple’s iTunes store.
There is already a mild uproar on Twitter going on among LOST fans.
But probably it’s just a technical issue of some sort. Stay tuned as this story develops…
Update:
I am an iPhone Application developer and had to accept new term of service for putting my Apps on iTunes just today. Probably this also required some maintenance in the store which delays the episodes?
